I gave my all in the race. Shattered a barrier I have been
struggling to break for years. I should have been happy, and proud. Instead, I collapsed
in a heap and burst into tears. The race had taken everything out of me, and I wasn’t
sure if it was worth it.
Nothing had registered. Not the scenic route, not the
cheerleaders, not the live bands. Nothing. All I had been aware of was my pace
and the distance left to cover. Was this what I wanted?
Before you work to a goal, it’s prudent to set the right
one.

Natasha - Such wisdom! And you're right, too. So many times, I think, we forget that life is about the journey, not the destination...
So very true!!!
Well congrats on reaching your goal...! But sometimes one has to wonder at what price?
